"Have a very special 18th birthday. You're an adult now but you're still our little girl. Check your account. Don't blow it all at once." — Ryan's SMS to Max two weeks before the events of the game.

Ryan Caulfield is Max Caulfield's father. Once a resident of Arcadia Bay, he now resides in Seattle with Max's mother, his wife Vanessa Caulfield.

Personality[]

Max's father is very close to her - the two attending sports events together. He's presented as a very loving father figure. He doesn't seem to be as concerned as Max's mother about Blackwell Academy.

In a text message regarding Max's eighteenth birthday, he says that she is an adult now but still their little girl and shouldn't blow the money they'd sent her at once.

He is concerned about the threat he gets from an unknown number in Episode 4 and messages Max about it.

In another text message to Max in the changed reality where Max has won the Everyday Heroes Photo Contest, he points out that Max is an adult now and can tell her mother that she doesn't need to be too worried regarding the arrest of Mark Jefferson and Nathan Prescott.

Alternative Timeline[]

In the alternative timeline, Ryan and Vanessa sent Chloe Price a postcard, giving their best to her.
